I normally select Pay Later - why pay now when I can do that later? I don't like making payments for stuff when the product isn't ready for delivery, just in case something goes wrong. NY is good, nothing to worry about. I've ordered a bunch of stuff from them in the past as well.
-
Pre-orders open again at Nippon Yasan, quick!!! Edit: Oops, guys you guys already know (my browser didn't refresh), thought I'd tell you guys ASAP. LOL Was making the order at NY and posting here on my phone while holding the baby. =P
-
I didn't know, just woke up in the middle of the night and decided to check the 171 at retail sites. Noticed they were listed and sold out, then came here to check the thread. LOL
-
Even 5 seconds is too long sometimes!
-
Nippon Yasan will most likely open up the order again at a later date at slightly higher prices. HS, AA, HLJ also usually re-opens the order when they confirm their stock availability but that usually is a really small window of opportunity. :(/> So now it's up to HLJ but I'm not gonna stay up all night or sleep by a computer for the auto alerts anymore, don't know when HLJ will put up the sale for it, with the VF-25G it took them 2 weeks to put up on their site after all the other usual online retailers. We curse Bandai all the time, but when it comes down to it, we still buy these "valks" when given the opportunity. We can boycott Bandai but they wouldn't care and I doubt it would impact them as a business (their precious Gundams). :P/>
-
Nope, when you actually try to check out, it says the quantity ordered is more than they have avilable and that you need to modify the order.
-
Damn it, missed it at HobbySearch and AmiAmi, lost the one in my cart for CDJapan as I was signing up for an account. LOL Guess I'll wait for HLJ or Nippon Yasan...
-
My package arrived today, just waiting to get home to check it out! ☺
-
I'd be down for a 1/60 set as well, if available.
-
Nope, not the only one!
-
Got an extra VF-25G for sale, if anyone's interested, PM me. NIB, but I had opened the cardboard part to take a look to make sure the thing's okay. Was going to put it in the sales section, but was too lazy (and procrastinate too much). Shipping preferably within Canada (or US).

I ordered the YF-29S during that window where it was opened, got the payment request about a week after. Paid for it, and it's in the private warehouse now (hopefully). Either way, gotta wait til next week to know as HLJ's on holidays. I got the Cavaliers when they had the recent sale, I think it was like 40% or 50% off? It was almost like 2 for the price of 1, iirc. I ordered 3, but I contemplated for too long and by the time I went to order them they were in backordered status. When HobbySearch re-opened their orders for the Cavaliers, I picked one up from them and removed one from HLJ so I would have at least one in my collection. So right now I have 2 Cavaliers on standby from HLJ, hopefully they'll be able to fufill, but I'm not holding my breath. =(
-
Did HLJ ask you for payment yet? I had already paid for mine and it's sitting in the private warehouse, just waiting for a few things before I get them to ship it. But whether they'll tell me it's out of stock when I ask them to ship will be another story. I think another member here had a problem where he had an item sitting in the private warehouse, but it was no longer available when he requested them to ship it. If HLJ's taking stock away from people who keep things in the private warehouse, that's a really bad way of doing business. But if you ordered when the status was "backordered" but still open, chances of getting the Valk may be pretty slim. My Cavaliers are still in backordered status from the sale they had a couple of months ago. The GBPS armour I had in backorder status from July was canceled a few weeks ago.
-
Yup, my 1/60 GBP armor got cancelled to, was in backordered status since June or July. LOL
-
Only if you've already paid for it at the higher price. NY said they will update the price to match the lower one when sending you the invoice for the pre-order. But you can send them a message on the order comment section to update the price ahead of time. They did it for me when the price was $324, I asked them to update it again to the $309 price - probably won't get a reply for a week or two though.
-
I'm pretty sure 030 was intentional, as in 30th Anniversary.
-
Well, it's order stop now - and I'm looking at the 29 and not the 25s this time. LOL
-
Edit: oops, my bad, was looking at the VF-25S. Thouht I was looking at the 29. LOL
-
OMFG.... And just after I ordered one. #@!!$!@#!! that's so evil... ... ordered another one from HLJ.
-
But how much will FedEx brokerage / customs taxes charge you? Dunno about the US, but Canadians get raped by UPS and FedEx all the time on cross border shipments. EMS would be the way to go for us...
-
That it was... pre-ordered the super pack too, while the prices aren't insane yet. Can't say I like the look of the super packs on the YF-29's, but better safe than sorry. LOL
-
I have all the all YF-19 variants released by Yamato... guess that says how much I like it. I still prefer the YF-19 over the VF-19 (line art, story, background, etc), but in terms of the toy there's no doubt the VF-19 is better.
-
I wonder if the previous ghost + weapon set will fit on the renewal version, well the weapon set anyway. And would Bandai re-release the ghost with the RVF getting a renewal? Hmmm...
-
Funny how old threads always seem to get resurrected by people with 1 post (their only post). LOL That said, I wouldn't mind another (updated) YF-19.
-
Thought I could resist this, but nope. Finally caved in and put in an order for one. =/ damn you guys and your tempting pics! :P/>
